[QUOTE="wwcanoer, post: 21075, member: 706"] I read your posting with great interest, then went back and rescanned the articles in JDT. All of the articles are well written, and are very persuasive. My first question to you would be, have you ever worked in a lab that utilizes piecework for compensation? And what did you think about it regarding your earnings? But maybe most importantly, have you been a position to receive lab cases that were produced by a piecework method of compensation? In my current position, in-house technician, I have been able to observe a variety of work that has come in from outside labs, of which three (Crown and bridge labs) compensate their employees by the piecework. My frustrations have been: Work is returned dirty, polishing compound on the inside margins,in attachments, etc. Porcelain at the margin edge is bulbous Glaze has run over margin edge These issues have been brought to the attention of the various labs, and of the three above issues, only the first has been completely solved. My personal belief is that when someone is compensated solely by the number of units produced, the little things can get overlooked. Different doctors have different standards of what "little things" are important to them. In my office, margin adaptation and contour is critical. Obviously, an orthodontic lab would have different "little things" to worry about. Maintaining quality control is an absolute must! Personally, I am not a believer in the piecework system of compensation. But, that of course doesn't mean it won't work for you and your employees. Good luck Carol [/QUOTE]
